"Here comes the questions part," Luna said, smiling.

"With who?!" George asked, genuinely surprised, grabbing Ron's butterbeer without him noticing it, and drinking.

I let out a long sigh, trying uselessly to hide my laugh.

"Cedric Diggory," I murmured as quick as possible and I heard more than one holding their gasp, while Liv, Luna and Hermione chuckled since they were the only ones at this table who knew it.

"Merlin, Lilith!" George said, snickering and giving a quick gaze at his twin, trying to make it discreet but I noticed. Fred, by his side, had still that smirk on his face but now his eyebrows were raised and his eyes were looking at the floor.

"Who would have said innocent Diggory wasn't that innocent after all..." Lee joked.

"What would Snape say if he knew, for fuck's sake!" Harry laughed, following the joke. "But honestly, can't blame you. Cedric was fine."

"Harry...?" I asked, looking at him with narrowed eyes. Could it be possible that he was one of mine too?

He raised with hands, like giving up. "We are being honest here, aren't we?"

"Fucking yes, we are!" I touched his glass with mine and finished the rest of my butterbeer. "Cheers, mate!"

"I'm still surprised, though!" Lee said, snickering.

"You lot just think that because Lilith is professor Snape's niece she's just another Slytherin. You should know she definitely knows how to have fun!" Hermione claimed, pretty proud, making me wink at her discreetly.

"Slytherin knows how to have fun, lads."

George, Lee and Ron snorted at the same time.

"Not that sure about that one, Arambella. Your house doesn't have the balls."

"We do, it's just that we know how to not get caught, unlike you."

"I have to agree with that," Fred started, calling our attention. "Slytherin can be quite fun."

"And how do you know that?" Ron asked confused, ignoring George by his side chuckling silently.

"Don't ask me things you don't want to know, Ronnie," Fred replied calmly, giving me a quick gaze.

"Nah, I won't believe it until I see a proper funny Slytherin who isn't Lilith!" the Gryffindor boy claimed. "Gryffindor is the funniest house and I die by that."

"Hufflepuff can beat all of you in a second." Liv talked, pretty confident, still using her sweet tone.

"C'mon, Olivia, your house spends most of the time stoned as fuck!" Fred snickered, " I know it first hand."

"Exactly, that's why we are the best."

"Wait, Hufflepuff?! Really?!" Harry interrupted, absolutely incredulous.

"Harry, honey, we are the best at Herbology, our common room is next to the kitchens and almost every Hufflepuff gives calm and good vibes. Join the dots."

You couldn't discuss that logic, could you?

"Ravenclaw can be fun too," Luna added.

"Absolutely agree! They do have some good smart humour. I like it." Lee replied, grabbing his own butterbeer to give it a sip.

"All of you can say whatever you want but no one beats Slytherin."

"Bah!"

"I'm being serious! We are demonized but, believe me, sometimes being in Slytherin is like being in a non-stop soap opera. Our common room is far from all the rest, Bloody Baron is chill as fuck, and we learnt how to distract my uncle to keep him away from our business. If someone parties hard, that's us."
